Round Epoxy Table Build
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 тра 2020
- How to make a round epoxy table. Step by step guide to how I made this round table from an old walnut root slab and epoxy resin. This build was a little unusual, so there are several parts that I used/invented techniques that I had never done before. The biggest improvement from my last round table build was how to make a perfectly round form with very little wood/epoxy waste. I hope you like it, and feel free to comment with any questions or feedback!

Cam, I cannot stress enough how much I admire your humbleness and genuineness. You make fantastic tables and I find your videos wholesome and entirely satisfying to watch. I am a builder here in Australia and you can imagine the LAST thing i would want to see is a work-working video when I get home from work. Yet, here we are. :D
A keynote speaker at an event I was at once said that "Aussies can sniff bullshit from 50 paces"... I think that's why the unvarnished truth (pun intended) is respected for us, and most of us are very egalitarian. I too love Cam's work. I'm so tempted to substantially increase my tool collection, just so I have a hobby. ;-)
After watching the video advert i was still skeptical. But when i finally downloaded the plans ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG i was very impressed. The whole plan was just as you said in the video. Thank you very much. I now have a large and valuable collection for my woodworks. This is great!
No question. But your videos are therapeutic. I finish my day here in Australia, working in IT, then handling my 2 kids. By 9 pm I’ve lost will to live. Then watch your one of your videos and I sleep happy!
I just love to watch your work. I'm an old lady who really like when professionals do their best. ☺️
Wonderful that our friend Cam details his failures, errors and corrections. Such integrity and honesty is rare and must be highly valued. Thanks Cam!
Cam - I've JUST discovered your vids on a subject I've been interested in exploring -
as _one_ of the reasons we bought this ( our new ) property right AT when this vid was first published, right at_ a year ago.
The main feature HERE was a NICE-sized Shop which I was _hoping_ I could start doing something like what I'm seeing here in your vids . I'm glad I've discovered your vids, and hope to gain the insights necessary to make a worth-while go of something FAR more modest than - but still inspired by - your content here.
Thanks for the encouragement !
Also, the narration is a HUGE positive factor helping me (us) to understand not _only_ what we see you doing, but your thinking behind it as well .
Finding MANY of the tools and products I'll need for success as affiliate links in the supplemental portion of your post is a HUGE help , TOO ! I expect it'll save, eliminate or at least _reduce_ the side-work of experimenting with what tools , equipment, epoxies, finishes , etc. to use that "might" work ... 👍!
All the BEST from Texas ! -
Chuck .
Cheers chuck!
So this was the second video of yours that I have watched. You’re a little over my head but I’m learning. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Cam, the close up pics on this are really showing the quality and effort you put into these tables. Thanks for sharing as always
Thank you for being real! Sharing the challenges, mistakes and how you overcame them is such a help for everyone trying to learn. BEAUTIFUL table!!
Cam, every time I watch your videos I realize how much I enjoy listening to the process involved in producing such exquisite works of art. I’ve seen other videos that have no dialogue and even though I’ll never accomplish producing a wooden table, I appreciate the knowledge being shared with your viewers. Thanks for your soothing voice and explaining your methods with your audience.
Been doing exterior construction for over 20 yrs..... Been burnt out for so long, so I wanna thank you for inspiring me, creating is what drives me, not content creating, just create....
Cam, I love how the finish gave depth to the grain of the wood. Beautiful piece of furniture -- congratulations!
Cam! I've just found your channel and binged it basically. I love your honesty about the errors and actually teaching something (because you learn the most from mistakes). Great work!
Cam, I absolutely love your channel. I watch a video every night to unwind. Keep up the amazing work.
I'm Portuguese English is my second language and I understand everything you say. I don't think you speak too quickly, and the accent is excellent. American English is perfect, British is the worst of them all I can't understand what they say. I love seeing 'Allo 'Allo! on the BBC, but unfortunately only with subtitles. Australian English is also very good I get 95%. By the way, you are a master at your job, the tables are always perfect. 👍
I'm in the TUNNEL, can't stop watching the videos of this guy...
Cam,
Once again you raised the bar!
I love the voice over. Even though you speed through your videos the description of the process and the fact you talk about the mishaps makes it so informative! Thank you for sharing your passion with us all!
I try! And thanks!
Cam!!!
Beautiful table. I would love to see an orange-fire epoxy added to a table like that. Maybe even add some LEDs to make it light up and really show the grain off. Just a thought.
So glad I found upon your channel, I'm a residential carpenter, mostly doing builtins, crowns, door and window casings ect.
I've been toying with the idea of building projects like what you produce. Would be nice to be in the shop without having to intrude on people's homes and bring every tool under the sun to do the most basic jobs. Looks very satisfying to create such incredible art.
Thank you for the great camera work and attention to detail.
I really appreciate how detailed your videos are. I have never made one of these tables, but after watching your videos I feel confident with making my first attempt! Much appreciated 👌
Cam, this is gorgeous. My wife wants a round small table for a corner in the living room. The base will be an old sewing-machine base. Definitely going to use your methods. Will be ordering a few items from your links as well. Thank you for your lessons. I also appreciate that you put in your videos mistakes and the like. It makes it real and we all learn from that.
I have absolutely no intention of making a table but I cannot stop watching these
Cam, how wonderful that you have a supportive community that you have outsourced to. Count your blessings!
I watch a lot of UA-cam woodworking videos, and there's a real refreshing honesty about your work and your content creation. Very glad I found your channel.
Cam, as someone starting out in woodworking (just finished my first college course) its awesome to see the beautiful work that can be done. Gives me confidence and inspiration to aim for the skill level your at. Thanks ... +1 subscriber!!
Excellent!! I’ve been a woodworker for years. Nothing like what you do but smaller things. I like the fact there’s no annoying music playing just explaining how you do this. Thanks for the great videos
After viewing a half dozen of your videos I have come to realize your expertise in the prepping process is where the magic lies. Incredible!
Very impressive. This is the second video I’ve watched of yours. The attention to detail and quality of your work shows your level of passion towards your work. Keep up the great videos and work.
Cam, I owned a cabinet, millwork and panel processing company in Huntington Beach in the 70's & 80's. We did a lot of very high end corporate conference tables with very expensive exotic veneers. We always tried to convince the customer to use resing coatings to preserve these woods that are vanishing in our modern world. If you do it right they will last forever. It was also a ongoing revenue source because we could go out and refurbish the surfaces on sight. I love your love for God's creations and your desire to respect and preserve that beauty. Thanks.
Cam, I enjoy watching your videos for a number of reasons. It’s great to watch the level of skill you have, all the various steps involved, the beauty of the finished item and because I find it relaxing. Keep up the great work.
Cam: Just watched this video again. Beautiful job. I get so much satisfaction watching your work. I love your attention to detail. Your finishing process is pure magic.
Cam, this round table is sensational and I can imagine a bronze powder coat finish on the base. 👍🏻🔥🔥🔥
Cam: I love how you show the entire process, errors and all. I get tired of the perfectly done videos that make the rest of us feel inferior! ;) Loved it, makes me eager to get my first table made.
Good luck with the build!
I live in Karachi Pakistan and I like your comment
Cam, absolutely stunning. Im an aspiring wood worker and this is something I could only dream of doing. Really great work. Thank you for your time man.
At 1.10 you're are cleaning the UK! Good work Cam!
I can’t believe so many people would thumbs down this. It’s beautiful man.
you forgot "a" article in the second sentence :)
Hi CAM! This round table from a 'scrap' of wood is marvelously done by you. The only trouble is that if I used it in my house I'd have to throw out all of my other furnishings! Someday when I win the lottery I'll come to you and order something smashing and then after it's installed I'll invite all the neighbors and family over and look down my long nose at them! Thanks for showing the fascinating way it all comes together.
Cam, I am not a wood worker but I love watching the skills you consistently portray. I love this table the way it turned out. Great job! 🫶
Adding that additional piece to fill in the big void was brilliant. It accentuated the whole table so nicely
Cam... I just discovered your channel and I'm binge watching when I have time. Thank you for putting it all together and all the hard work creating your pieces.
Cam, looks great. Thanks for going at a faster pace but slow enough that you can explain everything. I’d rather watch a 15 minute video like this than a 50 minute video where someone explains every step they are doing in incredible detail
Cam. G'day mate. No questions just admiration. You are everything a good UA-camr should aspire to be. Informative, creative, talented and your dry sense of humour guarantees me at least one good laugh each video. Honestly, I have sometimes burst out laughing at you banter. I hadn't noticed how fast you speak until you mentioned it, now I am almost tempted to check my playback speed. I work hard for a living in a shipyard, all toxic and sterile. I am though, a gardener by trade and nature. Watching your videos is a joy, to relax to and watch a natural media be lovingly showcased.
The epoxy side is a bit of a sore point with me though, because after years of exposure to two-pack epoxy paint as I mix it and run paint machines, often hundreds of litres per coat, for hours at a time, I have become sensitized to it and it is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Glad to hear you let it cure well before finishing. Often I have to sand freshly sprayed epoxy after it has hardened after only one day and the dust is a nightmare for me. Though I have over the last couple of years learned to mitigate the worst of it. A tip for you is, I use petroleum jelly as a barrier cream, it seems to work well.
Cheers, Joel.
Hey Cam: I like what you’re doing. This table is stunning as are your others. I grew up looking over the edge of my Dads old table saw, building small boats and anything else we needed. For numerous reasons (age, finances, space, etc.) I’m no longer able to do this, but my heart is with you all the way. Thank you, Thom Charlotte, NC
That trileg metal base was fantastic great blend of wood and metal. Although I will admit the wood bases you make that are of your creative flare are my favorites. BTW, 30 minute or more videos are all okay with me. They are so instructional I learn new things the more I watch you and listen to your commentary. 🤔👍🏻
.
Cam. This table is absolutely breathtaking! You’re a great artist.
Hey, I am one , who don't have a any relation with carpantry or furnitures. But I kind of used to see your content in my free time. One this that I leant from you, whatever you do give your best, even if no one is watching. Appreciate your work.
Cam! French speaker here, and photographer, all of your references on this video speak to me! You are fast indeed, but after 5 years living in ireland I don't struggle at all, so I'm pretty proud!
The photos in the end are really good, keep it up!
I stay as far away from wood work as I can, but like these videos so much! I do often wish that you had more colors though. Like a colourful epoxy resin. I'd love to see videos of other shades
Absolutely gorgeous ❤️. I love the intricate details in wood. Every piece is different and unique. Brining out the true beauty is the hard part. You did fantastic at that.
Thanks so much!
CAM I love all your Creations and Tables but the Rounds are my Favorite !! so From one Creative Person to Another "You ROCK " !!
Excellent work. Always a pleasure to see the process from raw timber to a beautiful table and to hear your commentary. When you’re doing something right, keep going with it, and thank you for sharing this with the rest of us.
Cam - it's awesome how the finish brings out so much in the wood, AND softens the look of the epoxy. I love love the look of this.
Cam, such a beautiful table! I thoroughly enjoyed watching you make this and I’m now getting more excited that my husband and I will be making our own small table eventually from a wood slab from some oak trees we had to take down.
The table is fantastic. Thank you Cam for sharing your project with us. All the best to you and your family from me and my five furbabies.
Cam - gorgeous table, I'm obsessed with round tables since I had one years ago, no longer have it. But just something about a round table - love that the outer edge was both wood and epoxy, great job !!
Cam I'm binge watching as I couldn't sleep, and your ability to bring the beauty out of pieces of wood is amazing!!!
Mesmerizing watching you go from wood most people would pass by without a thought to your beautiful piece of art. Thanks for posting. It was amazing to watch it come to life.
Cam!!!! No question!!! Just letting you know this is therapy for me!! LOVE all the videos I’ve watched so far!!
Cam- just started watching. I’ve no experience with woodworking but you are providing some great inspiration. Thanks! Tim
Cam, im not a wood-worker per-say but ever since i bought my house i found myself turning into a jack-of-all-trades. That being said, i know the amount of work it takes to build something 1/10th as nice as this.... you really do go above and beyond. This is one of the nicest tables i have ever seen, amazing job - congrats on *ONE MILLION* subscribers! They are well deserved, cant wait to see you get your own TV show like 'Tank Boss' or 'Restoration Pros' or even a full scale resto and builds like 'This Old House'! Thanks for the killer content, cant wait for more!!
Cam, excellent work! Love that you document both the journey of creating the piece and your journey of photography and video making. Really cool stuff and an interesting new perspective. Subscribed!
Cam, absolutely beautiful work. Black walnut is one of my favorite woods and you brought out the beauty that I don’t see much of.
CAM! I love your work and I love watching your videos! They're not too fast for me. I never get bored and I never have to fast-forward. Stay speedy!
Cam, you’ve fueled a new obsession. Hopefully I can turn this into a profession one day!
Cam, I am intrigued with the depth of finish, as a wood turner I tend to be very sparing with the finish to ensure the wood is the main focus but the depth of shine on your product tempts me to change my life long practice. At 77 years old and 65 years practice it is good to keep learning.
That is one FANTASTIC looking table ❤️❤️❤️
I *gasped* when you poured in the black epoxy, but then realized after planing, brought the wood grain back.
It's amazing that it's not just a work of art but a talent that has been formed. I'm from Vietnam and it's a pleasure to meet everyone.
Cam, that is one beautiful table top! As always, I'm learning a lot. Talk all you want!
Awesome work Cam, love how natural the tables look.
Cam, I was mesmerized at this video. Amazing table, love resin tables. What an artist!!!!!!
Cam, been binge watching your videos. I am amazed at the meticulous care you take with each and every detail.❤
Good job. Beautiful. Very inspiring. This is what I want to do in my retirement. Thanks for the videos.
Cam, what a beautiful table. I wouldn’t have known what to do with that slab. Turned out great!
Cam, mesmerized by your videos. I'm so impressed. thanks for posting.
Cam, yet another stunning piece of functional art, thank you for sharing the process with us.
Cam, amazing table. I am just starting my woodworking journey at that young age of 58. You are an inspiration to me. I never miss a video. Thanks for the links to all the great tools and supplies. My budget is not so happy, but maybe someday I'll be able to make some cash with what right now is a hobby!
I'm 58 and just started my journey, too! Can't wait to start experimenting with some of Cam's techniques.

Very nearly 40 here and also just starting my journey.
Worked as a furniture designer/illustrator/draftsman for 24 years. At 50, it's time to start my DIY journey buying one tool at a time and making homemade ones.
In same age and experience boat,planning to start a river table with a waterfall project (!) in 2 months, collecting tools and watching Cam's videos.
Cam, proud of you and what you do! To do what you love and make a living is a blessing. My dad was just recently able to make his passion his full time job from home and it just makes me so happy. Love your videos and your work!
Cam, this is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! God Bless!!
Cam...great job. Love your process and especially your calmness during problem solving.
Cam, thank you for what you do... you’ve inspired me to finally just feet first into woodworking.. I did my first set of outdoor chairs today. Woodworking is therapeutic for me and freeing! Thank you for the videos!
That’s awesome Jay!
Good luck on you're journey!!! 👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏 NEVER TOO LATE!
Cam, I'm a very new subscriber to your channel and I am absolutely in love with these pure works of art that you are creating. The commentary, the shots, the brief walk through of your process all of it is just nice to relax to. Greetings from New Zealand.
Cam,
I like this video and table just as much the 3rd time around. I've finally poured A round with wood actually I did #3 today. 14" mold for lazy susans. So far so good. Mainly, thanks to all your great instructions.
As always, Thanks
Cam, I love your videos! Thank you for doing what you do and helping us beginners do better.
Cam, loved the table, turned out amazing. I have been resin casting and had some issues with soft casts, which makes me rethink my mixing process. I am a big believer in mold release, it is one step that saves so much time. Thinking about how you took a tail pice to fill the larger empty section, something very similar could be done with a bunch of smaller fragments and ends. I particularly enjoy how you are learning to develop your craft and are not afraid to experiment, which can produce some beautiful and unexpected results. I liked the natural wood showing through on the burned piece, it gave it character, intentionally warping could produce some outstanding results, looking forward to joining you in your journey. Cheers!
Ml No One
Cam, your work is excellent - I might even have a crack at doing this myself! I'll be sure to let you know how I go.
Man the depth the black adds is awesome. Beautiful job.
Cam, Great looking table and thanks for the hints and tips on doing a round table. Awesome job
Cam, you do amazing work!! And your commentary is on point. Thank You!
Thanks bud!
Cam, Impressive craftsmanship, really great work!
Cam,the most Beautiful tables I’ve ever seen is Black Walnut with the Black Epoxy.Your the first person that has created such a Beautiful Work of Art,Thank you my friend!
Can, I agree, one of the prettiest tables I have seen of the 6 or so videos I have watched. Kudos
Cam! That is so beautiful! ❤️
Cam , the table looks amazing, I jus watch Ur videos for enjoyment 😂
Cam!
Gorgeous as always! I'm fast becoming an addict of your Channel.
The triangle design of the base was really unique and attractive.
When you were routing the circular groove to reduce the outer dimension, I imagined how neat it would lookto leave it uncut but fill the groove to have a black epoxy ring just inside the outer dimension.
Thanks for sharing with us!
Cam, I'm really enjoying your videos. I'm learning a lot. I'm designing my first epoxy pour table now, and plan to review your videos extensively when I get started. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experiences
Cam, after watching your videos in the last few days, you are becomingone of my favorites. You're now up there with Mike Farrington's work. Believe me, that's high praise, as I always feel I learn something from Mike's online work. Nice job with the concept, execution and video!
Hi Cam, I just wanted to say that this is a beautiful table! Great job!
I really enjoyed this table Cam. I find the whole process fascinating .
I'll keep watching your wonderful work
What a gorgeous little table. I've seen the root pieces before and always wanted something made out of them
